How many times have you run 5k? Do you reckon you know this distance well enough to guess when you’ve run it? Well that’s what Jess, Sarah, Mo and Tom are trying to do in this challenge.
They have to turn alerts off on their watch and cover it up, and then stop running when they think they’ve hit 5k. Closest person to 5k, WINS!
↓↓ How close will they get to 5k? How well do you think you could do this challenge? Let us know! ↓↓

You should do this challenge but all run together, so it becomes all about the mind games. Just like that game where you sit down when you think a minute has passed

Nice! Next you should do a prediction run... pick a course and pick the time you think you can run it in. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you go, the person who comes closest to their predicted time wins!

I would probably end up either like Tom, because when I run somewhere new I always feel like I've been running WAY longer than I have, or having run even further than Jess did because I would be constantly second-guessing myself

Fun video folks and happy new year. I'll give you 2 challenges i'd love to see - 1) (more extreme perhaps) a basic aquathlon or triathlon (ie pool swim) see who in the team can keep up with Jess (given her background i'd assume she'd p1) the other - maybe calmer 😉 how about a running channel takeover at a parkrun ie handle a number of the various volunteer roles

@jacksonm.6549 7 месяцев назад

Loved this! It would not work for me because I know virtually all the routes around me. Including those on my long runs. I started running back before smartphone tracking and used to plot my routes on a pc with Maps, then would write down the streets where I should turn, and run with the piece of paper on me. I kinda learned all the distances in my area. I'd have to go somewhere completely different, otherwise I'd know how far a 5k route is. I love that they all covered their watches, and still the run counted towards their workouts instead of running naked and using some other method to measure how far they'd gone.

@wolfie2693 7 месяцев назад

'I don't have pacing strategies. I just hang on for dear life.' Never related to anything more 🤣 Nice Challenge Idea: Sun Ra(y)ce. Set watches to 1hr. See who can run the furthest as the crow flies before official Sunrise time. Bonus points for prettiest sunrise pic. Sadistic Challenge Idea: Blood Rush. Everyone runs as many laps as possible in a period pain simulator. Intensity increases every lap. Anyone who loses the ability to stand upright, speak or basically function is out. Last person standing wins cookies. Yes i have just realised my first marathon lands on Hell Week 🙃 Love the channel!

@taylorlayton4508 7 месяцев назад

It would be hard to make this challenging for me to do anywhere near my house. You'd practically have to drop me in a different state so i wouldn't know the mileage from previous runs. I run a decent bit and try to keep it fresh so I have a pretty good distance of all the mileage in a good radius from my house. Edit: in other words, the better challenge, as some have suggested, is have everyone do it in one place that none of them have ever run before. a long straight road in the middle of nowhere, where all you have is your sense of pace.

@dprid 7 месяцев назад

I introduced an event at my club where we ask the members to predict their time for 5 mile route, and then they have to run it with no technology at all - no phones, watches, GPS, music etc. Winner is the closest to their predicted time, but to make it interesting, if you run faster than your predicted time you get disqualified. When we started it 10 years ago nearly 70% of the runners would be disqualified for running too fast. Now it's down to about 40%. Running with no music or GPS scares the pants off some of them.
